Intermembrane crosstalk drives inner-membrane protein organization in Escherichia coli

Gram-negative bacteria depend on energized protein complexes that connect the two membranes of the cell envelope. However, β-barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs) and α-helical inner membrane proteins (IMPs) display quite different organization. OMPs cluster into islands that restricts their lateral...
